HE SAYS: “Being a basketball player in high school was huge. There’s a lot of similarities between basketball and offensive line as far as the lateral movement, so I think that really prepared me for college.

2. Luke Joeckel, LT, Texas A&M (6-foot-6, 306)

VITAL STAT: 27 reps of 225 pounds in bench press.

LOWDOWN: No less a can’t-miss a prospect than Fisher. Many have him No. 1 overall. Great quickness, balance, poise, strength, technique.

HE SAYS: “I love offensive line. Growing up I always thought I was too athletic for the position. I was a quarterback in junior high.”

3. Lane Johnson, LT, Oklahoma (6-foot-6, 303)

VITAL STAT: 28 reps of 225 pounds in bench press.

LOWDOWN: How athletic is he? Was a QB in high school, entered college as a tight end, can still do a 360-degree dunk and ran down a CB in Senior Bowl after an interception. Yyyyeah.

HE SAYS: “I like to be aggressive and nasty. Every offensive tackle, or O-lineman for that matter, should have that same mentality.

4. Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina (6-foot-2 1/8, 311)

VITAL STAT: 35 reps of 225 pounds in bench press.

LOWDOWN: One of the best guard prospects in years. An agile bull.

HE SAYS: “I’m a combination of power and athleticism. Especially with the addition of weight, I can run power. You can look at it from my first three years of film, where we’re a pro-style offence where power was our staple play. And then this year it really showed my athletic ability, getting out in space.”

5. Chance Warmack, G, Alabama (6-foot-2, 317)

VITAL STAT: Did not do bench press at combine or pro day.

LOWDOWN: Like Cooper, a potential Top 10 overall pick. NFL Network’s Mike Mayock says he’s the best player at his position in this draft.

HE SAYS: “I like being physical and explosive. I like that word a lot -- explosive. I consider myself to be very explosive. In terms of where I want to be, I want to be the definition of that word."

6. Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia (5-foot-8 ½, 174)

VITAL STAT: Ran 40s at the combine in 4.29 and 4.28 seconds.

LOWDOWN: One of the most talented smurf receivers ever to enter the pro ranks. Uber-dangerous both as a slot receiver and kick returner. A burner with great football instincts.

HE SAYS: “(Durability) definitely shouldn’t be a problem. I haven’t gotten hurt or missed a game in eight years. My durability’s pretty good.”

7. Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame (6-foot-5 ½, 250)

VITAL STAT: Led NCAA in receptions by a TE, with 63 in ’12.

LOWDOWN: A protypical 21st century tight end. Has pass-catching and route-running instincts of a wideout, and the Irish often split him out wide. He’s big and tough enough to block ably, too.

HE SAYS: “(I can) catch the ball in traffic, make contested catches, get down the field and create mismatches, understand an offence (and move) around in different positions."

8. D.J. Fluker, RT, Alabama (6-foot-4, 5/8, 339)

VITAL STAT: 21 reps of 225 pounds in bench press.

LOWDOWN: Dominant on Crimson Tide line. By far the best RT in this draft. A wide, nasty mauler. Disappointing combine bench press.

HE SAYS: “I’m the high-energy guy on that (Alabama) team and people know that … There’s no time to relax. Every day to me is a work day. The way I feel, me as a person, I want to be the Ray Lewis of my offensive line."

9. Robert Woods, WR, Southern Cal (6-foot-0 3/8, 201)

VITAL STAT: Ran 40s at the combine in 4.42 and 4.43 seconds.

LOWDOWN: Perhaps because he originally was an RB at USC, has great instincts with ball in his hands. Returns kicks. Caught 112 passes as a sophomore. Feisty, too.

HE SAYS: “My hands, I would say, are a strength, locking the ball in. I caught a lot of passes, so that helps me as well. And my third strength, I guess, track background, with the speed and the quickness into my breaks. That allows me to stop on a dime.”

10. Matt Barkley, QB, Southern Cal (6-foot-2 ½, 227)

VITAL STAT: Threw 75 TD passes his last 2 years at USC.

LOWDOWN: No two draftniks agree on how to rate Barkley, because he possesses mediocre arm strength. Maxes out in experience. Ideal for a West Coast offence.

HE SAYS: “I’m a traditional dropback quarterback, passing quarterback. At the same time, I definitely believe I have the quickness, the pocket mobility, to avoid (rushers and have) what it takes to get out of the pocket. I think my throwing on the run is great.”
